ABSTRACT
The freshwater gobi, Glossogobius giuris (Hamilton) is widely distributed in freshwater bodies of Bangladesh. The investigation covers a comprehensive survey of literature on G. giuris in relation to its biology, ecology and fishery at home and abroad. It is aimed, at furnishing as much information as possible on various aspects, e.g. feeding habit and patterns among the different age groups, cannibalism, reproductive cycles and periodicity, size at reproduction and onset of reproduction, fecundity and gonadal development, catching methods and marketing; nutrients value and commercial importance of the gobi and others relevant fish species.
